Copper Theft Toolkit: Understanding Safety Risks and Community Impacts
Copper theft is more than a property crime. It can create serious electrical hazards, threaten critical infrastructure and disrupt essential services that communities rely on every day. ESA, in partnership with London Hydro, developed this free communications toolkit to help communities recognize the risks, raise awareness and encourage the safe reporting of suspicious activity.
Designed for local distribution companies, municipalities, provincial partners, police services and telecommunications providers, the toolkit includes ready-to-use key messages, website and e-newsletter content, social media assets and FAQs. Materials can be adapted for local communications and community outreach to help Ontarians know the risks, understand the impact and know what to do if they see suspicious activity around electrical infrastructure.
The toolkit includes ready-to-use key messages, website and e-newsletter content, social media assets, and FAQs.
